How to File a Complaint

 

There are no forms or other special requirements to file a complaint, but some things are necessary for both judicial and lawyer complaints. Any complaint filed with either the Commission on Judicial Conduct or the Commission on Lawyer Conduct needs to be in writing and signed by the person making the complaint. In your complaint, it is always helpful to provide as much detail as possible about what took place and the reason for your complaint. If you have any documents that support your complaint or help explain what happened then please include copies of the documents with your complaint letter. Finally, please be sure to fully identify the judge or lawyer and to include a full address and phone number where you can be reached.
